Lawmakers, attorneys threatened after aiding Martha's Vineyard migrants

What’s happening: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has taken responsibility for flying the migrants to the island. They have since moved to Joint Base Cape Cod for shelter. 

• Lawmakers and attorneys have been bombarded with calls, emails and tweets from people opposed to immigration criticizing the response. 
• State Rep. Dylan Fernandes and Sen. Julian Cyr, Democrats who represent parts of the Cape and Islands, say they've received death threats. So do attorneys for the Boston-based nonprofit Lawyers for Civil Rights.

What they’re saying: “We’re taking it in stride,” Cyr said. “I try to stay focused on my constituents on responding, on making sure these Venezuelan immigrants are treated with dignity and respect."
